Ami Bera creates history, wins Congressional elections

Ami Bera on Friday won the closely contested Congressional election from California, creating history by becoming only the third Indian-American ever to have been elected to the US House of Representatives.

Mr. Bera would be only the third Indian-American to have ever been elected to the House of Representatives after Dalip Singh Saund in the 1950s, and Bobby Jindal in 2005 and 2008, who is now the Governor of Louisiana.
